This week I've been so consumed by and in awe of the madness surrounding Oprah's visit, that I completely forget to vent my frustration on the most annoying of subjects: the mosquito.

The mosquito is no stranger to summers in Boston but ever since moving to Australia I seem to be a magnet for these little guys. I'm not just talking about a bite here or there, I mean I'm actually covered in massive welts, the most recent one a huge lump on my forehead - not a good look. I've tried vitamins and repellent but I think I'm going to have to resort to buying a mosquito net for our room.

Despite the constant itching there is a positive spin to this, and I seem to have become more interesting to children. On the bus today the child behind me, blurted out "mummy, what are all those red bumps on that lady?" as I tried to slide down further into the seat and hide. Hopefully I'm not the only one with such a strong hatred towards this insect but if anyone has any home remedies please feel free to share before I have to battle the mosquito beasts in Bali!

I cannot stand mosquitos !! especially when you're trying to sleep and one come buzzing in your ear ugh !!I have to stay I've mastered the art of killing them (and I'm proud of it ). Good luck, kick their a## xx
